    That depends on the source.

    The OT vs. the NT on 'what is good'

    You're right. But, that begs the question: why do all translations insert an 'it'? It must be necessitated grammatically. -- I don't think he was being sarcastic. Good and evil are on a spectrum (remember that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil had a single fruit). God is the only...

    The OT vs. the NT on 'what is good'

    And, maybe you're right. But, the it in 'it was good,' is singular each time, despite there being multiple things being created. So is it appropriate to say, for instance: 'Three rocks were rolling down a hill, and it stopped at the bottom'? -- Elsewhere, Jesus sought to fulfill 'all...

    The OT vs. the NT on 'what is good'

    The 'good' IMO refers moreso to His actions, i.e. what He does is good. But also, because everything was literally given forth out of the Word of God, all things are indeed degrees, or portions, of His (nevertheless, infinite) goodness. You can see that from His designation, that the totality...

    Jesus Encouraged Drunkenness

    I agree with much of what the OP is saying. Alcoholism is an epidemic. It always has been. It's entirely too easy to form an addiction. And, I don't think it a coincidence that Jesus acknowledged the common perception that he was a glutton and a drunkard. These people saw something- something...

    The Relativity of God

    Is there anything not born of the Word of God? There are an infinite number of things acting on one another. Many infinities. -- Scientists are still wrestling with General Relativity's local realism in relation to Quantum Physics' nonlocality, partly for this reason. It's very hard to...

    What Did Jesus Actually Do?

    Do you have any examples for Muhammad and Baha'u'llah?

    Is this God's Earth?

    We are stewards. We don't own anything. God, being God, owns and determines all things.

    'Christ's family were refugees too'

    You might, if you were between death and a waiting list.

    Does God question his existence?

    Good question.. No. God doesn't think; 1) Not constrained within time. 2) No need.

    Free Will

    Why did you associate 'non-existence' with 'illusion'? It exists, but not as perceived by perspectives within time's constraints. It certainly serves its purpose. The perception however exists only alongside ignorance; in the absence of ignorance there is only what was, what is, and what will...

    Free Will

    Free will is an illusion.

    Thoughts on the Fall of Adam

    Genesis is an allegorical history. The 'first man' and 'original sin' ideas are allegorical. Unfortunately, there are some that consider them literal historical facts.
